Small Luggage Explodes at Bush Airport MyFox Houston - ‎19 minutes ago‎ ---- 19 minutes have elapsed and no other reports from MSM. The Obama crew at MSM must be having a bad Muslim day and cannot deal with another case of being called on the carpet for maligning the tea partiers.

Houston Chronicle is now reporting-—

Houston fire department crews and a hazardous materials team are investigating reports of a suspicious piece of luggage at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Authorities received a small aircraft emergency call around 2:15 p.m., after a bag was found near terminal D of the airport.

“We’re hearing that something was thrown from a plane and there was some sort of explosion,” said HFD Asst. Fire Chief Jack Williams.

The plane is believed to have landed at the airport and the bag is believed to be on the tarmac, according to Williams.

There were no reports of a fire, damage to property or injuries, according to authorities.

Airport spokeswoman Marlene McClinton said airport operations were not disrupted.

This is getting even scarier.

The people at the top are incompetant fools. NO one is protecting us.

The plane is believed to have landed at the airport and the bag is believed to be on the tarmac, according to Williams.

This implies it was carry-on luggage. Also implies someone opened the plane’s door and tossed the luggage onto the tarmac.

I don’t have the strength to go through the MSM drill. We already know (a) it’s not terror related; (b) it was a lone wolf; (c) the Houston sun heated up a shampoo bottle - move along; (d) elderly, white tea party lady ran from the scene.
